Chlorofluorocarbons (e.g. freons - as once used in spray cans, refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners). They rise through the atmosphere to the ozone layer where UV decomposes them, releasing the chlorine gas which catalyzes the destruction of ozone in that layer.
These chemicals have been phased out as much as possible, replaced by hydrochlorofluorocarbons (which decompose nearly completely in the lower atmosphere, never reaching to ozone layer) or fully fluorinated fluorocarbons (which contain no chlorine, fluorine gas released in the ozone layer does not catalyze ozone destruction).
What else can I help you with?
What is the chemical that destroys the ozone layer in Antarctica?
CFC's destroy ozone. They react with ozone to deplete it.
The primary chemical in the atmosphere that appears to be depleting the ozone layer is?
CFC's destroy ozone. They react with ozone to deplete it.
What chemical compound contributes most to the depletion of the ozone layer?
CFC's are the ones that deplete the ozone. They react with ozone and destroy it.
What can destroy the ozone?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone in the ozone layer.
How can chloroflourocarbons destroy an ozone?
Yes, CFCs can destroy the ozone layer. They react with ozone present in ozone layer and decompose it.
Why do you destroy the ozone layer?
You don't destroy ozone layer. It is vital for life on earth.
Do yoou know That cfc destroy the ozone layer?
Yes.CFC's destroy the ozone layer.
Do meteor showers destroy the ozone layer?
No, it does not destroy. The ozone layer is present in stratosphere. No meteor shower can destroy it.
What chemicals have destroyed the ozone layer?
The chemicals that destroy the ozone layer are CFC's. These CFC's are cholorofluorocarbons which react with ozone to destroy it.
What human made chemical in particular destroys the ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are human-made chemicals that are known to destroy the ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, they break down ozone molecules, depleting the ozone layer that protects Earth from harmful UV radiation. CFCs are commonly found in refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and foam-blowing agents.
What type of things can destroy it the ozone layer?
CFC's destroy ozone. They react with ozone and deplete it.
How does hcfc destroy ozone layer?
HCFC do not destroy ozone. They are an alternative to CFC's.
